OREANDA-NEWS. On November 12, 2008 TNK-BP announced that its drilling and well servicing enterprises had been awarded international certificates ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, reported the press-centre of TNK-BP.

The certificates testify that TNK-BP’s oil field services comply with international standards with regard to quality of operations, protection of environment and occupational safety.

“We are pleased that TNK-BP has received further recognition that its operations fully satisfy international requirements in important areas of quality, environment and people’s safety,” said Tim Summers, COO of TNK-BP, “It brings us closer to our strategic objective to make TNK-BP one of the world’s leading oil and gas companies.”

“The work done to achieve this international certification has now laid a foundation for creating an integrated management system for our oil field services. This will ensure the company is more efficient, its employees are safer and the quality of our services will continuously improve. This is a natural way of increasing efficiency in a competitive market,” said Mikhail Osipov, Executive Vice president for oil field services.
